Epicor Propello vs. Retail Pro

Propello is user-friendly for the average store associate for a basic sale. Some basic inventory functions and product inquiries are not too difficult for store associates. But beyond that, in my experience, the system lacks functionality for a Hardware and Lumber store that handles special orders, services, etc. And the data needed to make business decisions is not easy to obtain, with some of it impossible to get unless you purchase an additional program from them.

First thing, all of my business users are happy with the usability and reliability of retail pro. Users are able to get what they want to run the business positively. We are able to customize the solution any time based on the business requirements. Finally after working on different solutions we found a solution that works with little support.

Epicor Propello has significant potential but setup and training create anchors to moving forward. Mobile POS is useful and can improve productivity. Setup and methodology are a barrier to taking advantage of this component. Some features have been missing and are still in release phases. Updates are necessary to make the software more comprehensive. Usability is limited to how the end user is setup and trained.

Retail pro is a solution which needs minimum support, so we can concentrate on other productive work. Worst case if there is any problem our well trained Zimson team is able to handle it on time. Thanks Retail Pro for its world class support and training system. No wonder why all top retail brands use Retail Pro for its POS operations.

Lightspeed had consistent issues with the software being down and little to no support. It also didn't have easy functionality to receive orders via a mobile device. Epicor Propello's team is very receptive to feedback and has made changes we suggested.

• It decreased the home office's efficiency because it runs too slow and always crashes.
• At the store level, it causes cash over short/duplicate charge issues when it crashes.
• For the inventory and planning department, it impacted the accuracy of inventory level due to the lack of functions.
